Student Line of Credit

WFCU Credit Union's Student Line of Credit assists students in financing their education. With the Student Line of Credit, you're approved for the total amount of money you need before the school year starts.

The amount of your Student Line of Credit is flexible and you can be approved up to a maximum of $15,000 a year for a maximum of four years for full-time students.

There is no cost to set up your Student Line of Credit and no cost until you use it. While you're a student and for up to one year after graduation, you pay monthly interest only on the amount you've used, for the amount of time you use it at a great rate of Prime plus 2.5%. One year after you've graduated, your Student Line of Credit will be converted to a personal loan at the same great rate of Prime plus 2.5%.

Once approved, you can use up to your available credit limit in whatever amount you require. When you're ready to use your funds, you use your Student Line of Credit in conjunction with your chequing account. You can transfer, at no charge, the required amount from your Student Line of Credit to your chequing account using our mobile banking, online banking service, one of our retail locations or by calling us at 519-974-3100 to complete a telephone transfer. You can then make your purchase using your Student cheques or your MEMBER CARD debit card for INTERAC Debit transactions.

When this is inconvenient, you can make your transaction directly from your Student Line of Credit using our ATMs or at one of our retail locations.

For easy record keeping, your Student Line of Credit is included as part of your monthly statement along with your other accounts.

You can protect your Student Line of Credit with optional creditors' life insurance. You pay only for coverage on the balance outstanding, at affordable rates.
